Rosanna Finally Fashion Forward... Modelos Fantasticos Rosanna Davison has been this country's fashion icon for a generation of young impressionable girls for the best part of a decade. Since landing the Miss World crown every little princess in Ireland wanted to ape her blonde Barbie Doll tresses and become Ireland's next top beauty queen. Heads-up folks, seems like Barbie has finally ditched the tiara... Rosanna Davison In female fashion icon terms - the UK has Kate Moss, Peaches Geldof & Victoria Beckham, the USA has Madonna, Paris Hilton & Lindsay Lohan. Ireland, on the other hand, is a little light when it comes to fashionable femme fatales. All we really have is former Miss World Rosanna Davison. Twink just doesn’t cut-it these days. Rosanna Davison For the longest time we've been scathing the leggy model's fashion choices. For what Rosie wears today, the model-set wear tomorrow and in turn, the teen girls of Ireland wear the following day... An over reliance on 'Debs Dress Chic' and the processed look with hair extensions, acrylic nails, false eyelashes, and the dreaded fake-bake. What ever happened to the natural beauty that won Miss World? Peter Homan, Rosanna Davison But we’re happy to report that at Peter Homan's 'Saints & Sinners' art exhibition last night, a very different Rosanna Davison showed-up... Without the obligatory boytoy boyfriend on her arm, a very casually dressed and relaxed confident young woman stood in the place where the ditzy blonde gigglebox used to be... Think Olivia Newton-John in the final scene of Grease and you will see where we are going... Caoilinn Taylor, Rosanna Davison Dressed in black skinny jeans, studded heels, a short brown leather jacket, and a peaked black canvas cap with an uber cool chicken print design (yes, we said chicken print design!) - Rosanna set the whole room alight as the social-set and journos lined-up to complement her new look... Yup folks. Barbie is dead. Finally. Bill Hughes, Peter Homan, David Norris Rocking 'Bohemian Beatnik Chic' Rosanna was among the cool people attending the launch of Peter Homan's exhibition at Filmbase in Temple Bar last night... Wha? Rosie hanging out in an art gallery in Temple Bar?? Things really have taken a turn for the better. Enda Storey, Derick Carberry, Peter Homan, David Norris, Declan Buckley, Bill Hughes Featuring paintings of well know gay Irish icons such as Senator David Norris, Shirley Temple Bar, Graham Norton, Stephen Gately, Brendan Courtney, Veda Beaux Reves, and Derek Carberry - Peter's work puts the flamboyant celebs in classic saintly poses. Hence the name: Saints and Sinners... Derick Carberry (Painting: St Luke) Apart from Rosanna 2.0, other guests at the launch included Peter Homan, Senator David Norris, Bill Hughes, Derick Carberry, Michelle Doherty & new boyfriend Fergus Kealy, Enda Storey, Declan Buckley, Caoilinn Taylor, Alan Hughes, Hazel Glynn, Sam Homan, and many more... Michelle Doherty & boyfriend Fergus Kealy If you happen to be around Temple Bar this weekend, do a Rosanna, and check out the Saints & Sinners exhibition. Sam Homan

Caoilinn Taylor is a natural beauty, also love her style. went to the expo after reading this, it was great! munt3r – dublin April 06, 2009 - 15:00 rosie looks edible like chicken Sara – South Dub April 06, 2009 - 08:57 I agree with jaywo Sam looks great, he's not your usual typical male model, his outfit looks great really quirky.. and love the tattoo sleeve, HOT! Sandra – Dublin April 04, 2009 - 16:55 Perhaps Kangol should hire the Mcbarron Mutants to feature on their 2009 farmyard animal caps.... Steve – D4 April 04, 2009 - 16:28 The Chicken Military Cap from Kangol's Chicken print collection was new for 2008 and has since become a very desirable, cuting edge fashion item b!tchES! Model A1 – dublin April 04, 2009 - 13:51 ok i got it very wrong..maybe its not a good look...but the mc barron sisters cud pull it off better. Aoife – BAC April 04, 2009 - 13:39 She is undoubtedly naturally a gorgeous girl, but I dispute the statement that it was her "natural beauty" that won Miss World - as is required by these "pageants", her natural beauty at that stage lurked deep deep below acres of slap/fake tan/Vaseline on teeth/false eyelashes/fake nails etc etc. I don't think she can be blamed for having been overgroomed since Miss World 03 - i think it would have taken anyone six years to get that amount of slap off.... emma – dublin April 04, 2009 - 10:19 whats the story with her and wes???? are they together or not!!! Steve – D4 April 04, 2009 - 09:59 she was going to an art exhibition! would you "fashion guru" moron's have like her to wear a ball gown or c0cktail dress? idiots, she looked perfect for the event and on a side note she has the most amazing teeth! Lovely – dublin April 04, 2009 - 09:23 The reason she's wearing that hat is because her hair is in tatters. Its dry and unhealthy looking. Fashion forward - one would most definatly think not!! That jacket is ick, no shape, bad colour. 3 different patterns going on. ick. Can this girl not get herself a stylist please? donna s – Templeogue April 04, 2009 - 00:11 u need glasses guys, she looks amazin and her outfit is amazin. glad she's chillin' out. fab x Laura – Dublin April 03, 2009 - 21:19 I'm sure she's a lovely girl and all but what a disaster outfit!!! What the hell was she thinking?? gatsby – omnipresent April 03, 2009 - 19:14 That f-ed up chicken newsboy cap is just atrocious. I would've actually liked her look but for that hat. Cluck, cluck, Rosie. Hahaha! KAT April 03, 2009 - 17:33 erm not 'Fashion Forward' showbiz its 'Fashion Retro' get ure terms right! jaywo – LA April 03, 2009 - 17:06 That whole outfit is wrong, the only person who has any fashion sense is Sam Homan!! Jane Peters – D4 April 03, 2009 - 16:38 The CLONE WARS will begin now....... They all copied Rosanna when she went brunette i bet they will all start going for the cas look with little rock chick hats , long scarves , fingerless gloves. If Michelle Heaton goes for the ROSANNA LOOK i will laugh myarseoff.............. Sandra – Dublin April 03, 2009 - 16:23 Those clones would never have the balls to look different. barbie hair and nails are so over! PR Lady April 03, 2009 - 15:49 like the new 'look' rosanna but i cant see sarah kavanagh, pippa and the mcbarron monsters rolling up to krystle wearing bloody chicken hats :) Tia April 03, 2009 - 15:43 She got the hat all WRONG. The rest of her look is ok but Caoilinn Taylor looks far better! Sandra – Dublin April 03, 2009 - 15:31 Chicken hats ARE the way forward! She looks smokin x Model A1 – Dublin April 03, 2009 - 14:51 LOL well done rosy stand up for chicken rights!!
